No. of indexing positions
Up to 60 positions can be entered in each indexing position table:
[n = 0 ... 59]
The actually used number of entries is defined with the machine data:
MD10900 $MN_INDEX_AX_LENGTH_POS_TAB_1 ((number of positions of indexing
position table 1)
MD10920 $MN_INDEX_AX_LENGTH_POS_TAB_2 ((number of positions of indexing
position table 2)
Note
Entries in the indexing positions table that cross the parameterized number of indexing
positions (MD10900 or MD10920) are not considered.
Valid measuring system
The indexing positions defined with MD10900 and MD10920 are related to the measuring
system configured for position tables:
MD10270 $MN_POS_TAB_SCALING_SYSTEM
Value System of units
0 Metric
1 inch
Note
MD10270 has an effect on the following setting data:
SD41500 $SN_SW_CAM_MINUS_POS_TAB_1 (switching point for falling cam edge 1-8)
...
SD41507 $SN_SW_CAM_PLUS_POS_TAB_4 (switching point for rising cam edge 25-32)
Entry for indexing positions
The following rules apply:
● The indexing positions must be entered in the table in ascending order (starting with the
negative to the positive traversing range) with no gaps between the entries.
● Consecutive position values cannot be identical.
● The axis positions must be entered in the basic coordinate system.
